A Green Wedding

Choosing to go green for your wedding can be easier than you think. Try incorporating items that have longevity. Choose a cake topper that you'll love to use again after your wedding over. This can be the same with flutes, serving sets or any other table items.

Give out gifts of small trees or cards with embedded flower seeds and have your guests plant these in your honor - it's a nice token of appreciation and you will add a little life to our world. Other choices can be both green & nostalgic. Re-appropriate old china from family, friends or your neighborhood thrift store. Eclectic is in and mixing items from the past can be very fashionable. Or create invitations, menus or table markers out of recycled paper. Try a local printer and see if you can salvage any "off cuts" or scraps of paper.

Growing your own flowers can be green & save you a little at the same time. Or ask family and neighbors if you can gather a few flower gems from their gardens. Lilacs are a great choice and would add a beautiful aroma to your room.

It's easy to take the green step - even if it's a small one!
